Description Brett Neely 2001-09-10 01:03:10 UTC
In a directory with one item, zooming in by the center of the view has an
undesired effect.  Say the directory layout is anything other than manual, and
the single icon appears at the top-left.  Zooming in to the center of this view
will leave the only interesting item in the view out in the cold of non-visible
scroll margins.

To reproduce:

1 - In icon view, view a directory with one icon, not with manual layout.
2 - Zoom to a higher zoom level

Notice that the icon will be partially obscured, if not entirely, and the
scrollbars indicate that the absolute center of the view is currently shown.

It would be nice if Nautilus could determine the true "center of the action" for
directories.  In a very full directory, zooming in to the absolute center of the
current viewable region is the best method.  But in a directory with one icon,
for example, the center of the action is that single icon itself up in the top
left corner.

This is definitely not a 1.0 bug.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

I'm not convinced that the top left is the "center of action". If
anything, the name of the file is pretty important so one could argue
that it should be zoomed in on.

I tend to think that a user simply wouldn't keep zooming in on a
directory with a single icon. The icon is guarenteed to be in view at
any zoom level with non-manual layout so zooming in accomplishes
nothing, right?
Comment 3 Aschwin van der Woude 2002-12-31 16:25:07 UTC
When zooming in/out whatever in list or icon-view, a single icon is
always visible.

Assuming this is fixed, so closing the bug.
